Today is National Peach Cobbler Day.

I don't know exactly what peaches have to do with shoes, but still yum.

I think this holiday should be moved to the fall when peaches are in season though.

@Kurtroedeger There are two different occupations known as "cobbler" and only one of them involves shoe making 🀣
Either way, have the pudding! πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹

@stueytheround @Kurtroedeger
Stuey Google is not helping out here! Besides make shoes, what is the other occupation a cobbler does? I'm guessing something involving sex?

@janallmac The other cobbler paves roads with cobbles (large stones or pebbles) and *that's* where the dessert got its name 😁
It's supposed to look a bit like a cobbled road, so the scones/biscuits on top is the earlier recipe.

@janallmac That said, I like the way your mind works 🀣🀣

OHHHH

OK that's so fun! And of course, that's where "cobblestones" come from.

My mind *does* work that way, but you can also blame/thank Google, which introduced me to Cobblers Awls in Cockney Rhyming Slang, but refused to mention anything about roads, so I assumed it had something to do with balls. πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ Sorry and thank you.

See, the internet is not always right, people! πŸ˜‚

@stueytheround @Kurtroedeger
And it does look like cobbler topping, unless it's my grandma's cobbler.

Thank you!!! I love when all the linguistic pieces click together like this.
